Let them offer their loyalty!

"So... Qin Shuman's contact person is at least a department head with real power from a secret department?"

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's eyes looked a bit peculiar...

He felt he might have underestimated this woman.

He had originally thought she was nothing more than an insignificant piece among several forces, but it turned out she was quite substantial?

As for whether Qin Shuman could be from the Security Department, Qiu Tu felt it was highly unlikely.

After all... unless Qin Shuman was Lin Zuo's boss, personally in charge of this matter. Otherwise, even if she was also a deputy head, there was no reason for Lin Zuo to come forward and make the contact for her.

Half an hour later.

"Yes, you guessed it, I am Lin Zuo's boss."

Looking at Qin Shuman's stunningly beautiful face, Qiu Tu: ...

He raised his hand to stop Qin Shuman from continuing to speak and said with a troubled face, "Wait a moment, let me sort this out first."

After saying this, he hurriedly recalled the events of the past half-hour.

Half an hour earlier, after finishing the discussion about cooperation with Lin Zuo, Qiu Tu returned to the Qin Family from the Milan Grand Hotel.

At the base of the Security Team, Qiu Tu first inquired about Cao Dabiao's situation.

Upon learning that Cao Dabiao had not returned to the unit, he didn't wait any further but went straight to find Qin Shuman, intending to probe her background.

Qin Shuman seemed to be waiting for him too, so the two hit it off and went to the bar where they had drinks the night before to continue their chat.

Due to his habit of deceiving others, after finishing the discussion about Lin Zuo with Qin Shuman, Qiu Tu casually tested her by saying, "Actually, if you wanted to cooperate with me, there was no need for your subordinate to approach me."

"Is there anything we can't talk about between us?"

Originally, Qiu Tu just wanted to bluff, but who knew that Qin Shuman would actually admit it straight away...

....

Struggling to pull his thoughts back to a normal track, Qiu Tu, by the light of the bar, looked at the beautiful woman before him and seriously analyzed the possibility that she was Lin Zuo's boss.

But... no matter how he analyzed it, he found there were too many holes in this idea.

So, after hitting a dead end with that line of thought, he looked at Qin Shuman with a peculiar expression and said, "You're not pulling my leg, are you?"

Having seen Qiu Tu calculating behind the scenes many times, Qin Shuman burst into laughter for the first time seeing Qiu Tu off guard, shaking with laughter.

After laughing, she regained her composure, sighed, and then spoke lightly, "Actually, don't say you don't believe it. Even if you told Lin Zuo everything now, he probably wouldn't believe it."

Qiu Tu was dizzy with confusion by Qin Shuman and looked at her with a perplexed face.

However, Qin Shuman suddenly asked a question, "Qiu Tu, do you remember the question I asked you last night: Do you believe that a person can suddenly become someone else?"

Qiu Tu's keenly caught the hidden meaning in Qin Shuman's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, "What do you mean? You are not the former Qin Shuman?"

Qin Shuman nodded.

She leaned against the bar's counter, looking at Qiu Tu, and then spoke softly, "You have been in contact with the young girl Shen Lingshuang these past few days, you should be aware of the Cataclysmics, right?"

Qiu Tu nodded.

Qin Shuman took a sip of her drink, "Actually... I am a Cataclysmic."

"Or rather, once was a Cataclysmic."

Her gaze was filled with memories and melancholy, "My original identity was the head of the Investigation Department of the Security Section in the military, codenamed Rain Butterfly."

"My Cataclysmic path was Mystery. And the ability I gained from the Cataclysm was 'Control Possession.'"

"This ability allowed me to remote control the person I possessed. Not only could I attach myself to her body and communicate with her mind from a distance, observing her thoughts, but I could also forcibly control her body."

"It was a very powerful ability."

"And Qin Shuman... or rather, the original Qin Shuman was one of the people I had possessed."

"She was a very kind and adorable young girl. Despite having a tragic background and her short life being nothing but a plaything for some big shot, she was still very positive and optimistic."

"Perhaps because she was so lonely, even though I wasn't friendly towards her, she always treated me as a friend, regularly chatting with me and sometimes even helping me investigate certain matters on her own initiative."

"Everything was going well until you..." At this point, Qin Shuman glanced at Qiu Tu, paused, and added, "Or should I say your predecessor."

Qin Shuman said, "She fell in love with your predecessor at first sight. Just a few days together, and they had fallen deeply in love..."

Qin Shuman sighed, "I was quite busy at the time and didn't possess her, so I had no idea this was happening."

"So, when I possessed her one day to see how she was doing, I discovered that things had already gone too far..."

"I was truly terrified at the time. Not because I was worried something might happen to her, cutting off this source of information, but because I knew that Yan Chen, with his personality, would never let them off the hook if he discovered their affair."

"So, I tried my best to discourage her, wanting her to give up. But she showed a determination she never had before."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I still remember the words she said to me back then."

"She said, 'Sister Rain Butterfly, I only have a short five years to live, and to meet someone I like is really too difficult. I don't want, when after I die, to only remember being under a man covered in fat...'"

"I didn't know how to persuade her, and could only watch as the two of them moved closer to the abyss step by step."

"And then... until that day."

At this point, Qin Shuman covered her face with her hands and said in agony, "That day, after finishing my official duties, because I was worried about her, I wanted to see how she was doing recently."

"But who would have known that when I used my ability and possessed her, I discovered she and your predecessor were lying naked in bed, their bodies still breathing, but their souls were completely shattered."

"I was startled and wanted to flee. Suddenly, a pain that pierced into the soul hit me, and I completely lost consciousness."

At this point, Qin Shuman's eyes were filled with sorrow, "And when I woke up, it was when you suddenly pushed yourself on top of me."

"I was terrified at that moment. I wanted to resist, but I simply couldn't."

She sighed, "It was only then that I realized I had become 'her'."

"I went from the third-person perspective of possession to the first-person perspective. From being able to disconnect the possession at any time to 'Permanent Possession.'

"So, although I didn't know what had happened, I had no choice but to take it one step at a time and first pretend to be her."

"Fortunately, I had often observed her life and communicated with her frequently before, and coupled with the residual habits of her body, besides those close to her, no one else could really tell."

At this, she had a distant look in her eyes, "Of course, she didn't have many close people."

"Except... your predecessor."

After listening to Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu's mouth slowly opened, and it took a long time for him to snap back to reality.
